SAVED BY A LAUGH.
A Sick Young Broker who Lost His
Lunch but Got Well by 1t.

Sick Young Broker who Lost His
Lunch but Got Well by 1t.
A well known and popular young
broker living up town in the immediate
vacnity of his fashionable club, was
few days ago the victim OF an expert
ence at once amusing and irritating.
The episode is too good to remain un.
told, but all names will be withheld
through sympathy. The young mar
was i'll at his lodgings, and flowers,
kind messages, cigars, thoughtful
friends nor nothing else could allevi-
ate his suffer ngs. Everybody was in
despair until a medicine man was sent
for.
After feeling the patients pulse the
physician shook his head gravely and
declared, that the broker must do some.

this sample from the repertoire of the
far-famed cuisine of the borker's clut
was prescribed. No objection was
raised to this kind of medicine, and the
sick mans valet sent at once for s
menu of the club. The invalid raised
his feyered head on his elbow. and,
CHANGING over the bill of fare, proceed
ed to order what he thought would re-
store the bloom to his cheek and the
luster to his eyes.
There was bouillon. thin and trans

back duck fresh from the shores of
Maryland, and lot of other dainty
dishes This was topped off with lib
eral supply of pate de foie gras and two
or three bottles of PoutetCanet and
Mumm. The messenger bell was thcr
rung and the order was entrusted to IA
bright eyed little Mercury. Away sped
the boy to the club and his order set
every employee there in commotion.
Even the chief woke up and with his
own hands prepared a said with dress

Meanwhile at the lodging of the bro

with considerable alacrity paced the
room. and his valet bestirred himself
with extraordinary agility. They wait

boy nor his choice yiands put in an APP
pearance After considerab bic delay the
suspense became so eXasperating that
the mau-seryant was ordered to GO in
search of the voungs,er, and bring him

out, but proceeded no farther than the
door of the brokers' lodgings. There

of mind bordering on hilarity.
As soon as the broker heard how his
dinner disappeared he laughed long ant
heartily. 1t was the first smile that he
had given while i'll. The invalid tried
TO save the boy, and interposed earnest

An Indians Ingenuity.

A western emigrant having stolen a
horse from an Indian the latter con-
vcted him of the offense by very in
genious plan. The prisoner swore
that the animal belonged to him, and
that he had brought it from the east, so
that the judge did not lind himself in a
position to convict He was even about
to return the horse to him, when the
Indian said; ''If you will allow me,
will prove that the animal belongs to
me- Immediately he pulled off his
cloak, and covering the animals head,
asked the emigrant of which eye it was
blind? The robber was much embar-
raised at the question, but. neverlhe-
less, not to delay the court he replied
at hazard that it was the right eye.
The Indian. uncovering the head, ex-
claimed: THE horse is not blind either
of the right eye or the left The
Judge Immediately decided that the an
imal was his.
